It maybe the most expensive auction ever. Yes it could be, as movie legend Marlon Brando's personal script from the 1972 movie "The Godfather" sold for a staggering $312,800 at a New York auction on Thursday, becoming the highest ever paid for a film manuscript.

The high-profile auction at Christie's also included Mario Puzo's letter asking Brando to play gangster Don Corleone in the film, which has been sold for $132,000. Also there was the actor telegram to Marilyn Monroe, which sold for $36,000, while a photograph of the film icon and actress Rita Moreno in the 1968 movie "The Night Of The Following Day" fetched $48,000.
